        abstract = {BACKGROUND: Anxiety has been climbing globally in a major way. By 2026, research shows about 678 new cases per 100,000 people every year worldwide. This is hitting hardest with teenagers and young adults aged 10 to 24, where new cases have shot up over 52% since the nineties, with a really sharp jump after that 2019-2022 global health crisis. Incidence is different from prevalence—it's not about how many people have it right now, but how fast it's spreading through a population. Wealthier regions, mainly North America and Western Europe, are seeing the worst numbers, sometimes over 900 new cases per 100,000 annually, which points to modern stuff like intense workplace pressure and being glued to screens as the main culprits behind new anxiety cases. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to assess the knowledge regarding anxiety and its management among undergraduate students in selected college of Aizawl, Mizoram.
METHOD: Quantitative research approach, non-experimental research design (descriptive research design). Data was collected from 100 undergraduate students in selected college of Aizawl, Mizoram using non-probability convenient sampling technique. The collected data was analyzed by using descriptive (frequency and percentage distribution) and inferential statistics (Chi-Square).
RESULT: Findings of the study reveals that out of 100 participants - Majority 93(93%) of the participants were from 17-21 years, 51(51%) of the participants were male, 58(58%) of the participants were from nuclear family, 70 (70%) of the participants were from urban areas, 54 (54%) of the participants source of information were from mass media, 35(35%) of the participants were from science as well as commerce stream, 57 ( 57%) of the participant's father were in government services, 36(36%) of the participant’s mother were educated up to high school and 38  (38%) of the participant’s father were educated up to graduate and above .There was significant association between the knowledge score with selected demographic variables of undergraduate students namely gender (0.03) and source of information (0.04) among undergraduate students at 0.05 level of significance (p=0.05). CONCLUSION: Thus, the result shows that the undergraduate students in selected college of Aizawl, Mizoram have moderate knowledge regarding anxiety and its management and can be concluded that spreading up to date knowledge, awareness about anxiety and its management will enable to improve their knowledge and practices.},
